Learn about plants that we eat and grow in the garden.
Experiences
The aim of this programme is to get students to 'dig' their veggies - in every sense of the word.
Students learn about the various parts of plants we eat (carrots = roots, cabbage = leaves) and the plant heroes that make up our everyday foods.
Apprentice gardeners are taught the basics of veggie growing and plant their own seeds to take away with them.
